Did you think about the rest of those logos I mentioned? Did you relate them to just the color "red"? The color is one part of the logo. The sum of one part cannot be greater than the whole. That's why type design and overall style play a very important role of an identity. On point as always. I have my BA in graphic design, worked 3 years with an agency doing graphic design, but still had someone else do mine. He's a good friend and a great designer. Like some many photos starting out, I'm low on cash so the deal we made was he'll do my identity and I'll do a photo shoot for him for one of his clients.

I haven't seen the Before, but I can email you what I think of your After-Present. A red logo, similiar to Coke or Staples. Did they select the photos for your gallery? Build the Blog and website layout and navigation-style? I've heard someone say perception is everything. Yeah, I want that grand reception for their perception of me and my creative services.

I wiled with Nadine last year to recreate my brand, and her work was amazing! My investment in my brand has had a huge impact on my business. Because of their level of quality and unique understanding of the photography industry, I know that their BE line is a great investment for someone getting started.

It kind of blew my mind how much work went into what ends up being a very basic and clean design. Hopefully down the line I'll be able to invest in working with a designer on a brand in a more in depth way. But until then, I feel like they've give me a solid base to present my website, send out promos etc. I think Nick nailed it right on. The BE program is a great choice for someone in the beginning stages of establishing themselves and developing a brand. I also know that they do more customized work, which I'd bet is a great option for a photographer who has the ability to invest more.
